I am sick and tired of hearing about potential. Every cell has potential to evolve into a sentient species, but the odds are astronomical to the astronomers. Every child has potential, but half are below average.

Yes, below average. How I hate that. iOS is not going to go down in flames because Nokia tuned its failure and tried to wash the stench of boos and failure with fresh Intel blood. Android is pumping like nuts, it keeps growing momentum, because each app gets more apps and more apps means more users and more users means more developers. GOTO 1.

Microsoft ain't backing down. There's money to be made here and it has the strength to fight. And if there's anything I know MS can and will do is it will fight for cash with the determination of a drowning bobcat.

Who here will be displaced to make room for the mighty MeeStuff? Potential my foot.

There is no room on the board, people. We are stuck below average.

Potential. Potential is what you have when you don't have anything. 10 years from now this old OS has the potential to be embedded in microCPUs and swallowed to maintain our youth. It won't be and as we have seen every update from Nokia, major and minor, hope makes a poor substitute for code.

We may not have a large developer base, may not have user base, compatibility, but we're special. We have potential.

That's right, we're the ******ed child everyone keeps trying to sugarcoat the reality for. It's not DEFINITE that we won't get flash, browser patches, a new update or anything. Someone might swoop in and just fix it. Anyone might at any moment! Who knows? We have potential.
